Bispecific T cell engagers (TCE) derive from monoclonal antibodies and concomitantly engage a target on the surface of cancer cell and CD3 on the surface of T‐cells. TCEs promote T cell activation and lysis of tumor cells. Most TCEs in development for multiple myeloma (MM) target the B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and differ among themselves in structure, pharmacokinetics, route and schedule of administration. CD3/BCMA TCEs produce response in ~60% of patients treated in phase 1 trials. TCEs are also in development targeting the G protein‐coupled receptor, class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) and the Fc receptor homologue 5 (FcRH5). Main toxicities are cytokine release syndrome and cytopenias. Here we review the current development and future directions of TCEs in MM.
